Despite mentioning a philosopher (good pick!), this is just creative writing rehashing one side of the hard problem -- or, more specifically, restating the dogma that Turing wrote his most famous paper to debunk. It's really good cre

Yeah I keep getting this weird sense that Jev is kinda poorly reinventing ML. I guess the graphs don't lie and theoretically I can replace luna with it, but I don't really use luna anyway. What is the use case for a classifier tha

Lol wasn't that the unexpected, quasi-hated part of that movie -- that it did end up being a technological thing rather than another religious artifact? Not criticising your main point, but that's a pretty funny coincidence

Source? That is, source other than speculation?

Well I personally think we can find a middle ground between single-handedly saving "everyone" from poverty and addiction and oppression as social workers, and not letting anyone into our exclusive philosophy-of-property clubhouse.

Putting aside the 100% baseless, unfalsifiable accusations of intentional accidents for a moment, I hope we can agree on one thing: Irregular either needs to hire us or go out of business cause seriously it's beyond parody at this poin

I initially thought the same and came here to agree, but on second look: doesn't it seem possible that these were significant events that we're just getting passed through a game of layperson telephone at the ailing WSJ? Cause &qu

It doesn't look it was their decision to announce this, and regardless it happened -- hopefully no one thinks that they got Irregular to permit yet another accidental hack just so they could cop to it months later as a marketing ploy.

Okay but we’re the mice. Doesn’t that bother you?

Oh :( So for clarity I have nothing against Chinese people of any kind, from the PRC, from Taiwan, or otherwise. We’re all on the human side ofc, and I’m a passionate internationalist (antinationalist, even). My country (the US) is in the m

So strange that this is still up 5 hours later… dang, I am yet again begging you to stop trying to roll your own forum ethos. It’s okay. You’re safe now. We can modernize without losing the magic. I know I know, shh, it’s okay, don’t worry,

This is kinda beside the point and this whole thread may be wiped when dang wakes up and notices the AI slop article we're commending under, but your reply is thought provoking so I'll attempt a response anyway; I'm sure you&

Glad my arbitrary failure to try them has worked out! For people seeking OS-native harnesses, I can recommend Factory's Droid. I know I'll be returning to it with my head hung low today, after I uninstall ZCode. It does have a &qu

This is bad-faith AI slop rephrasing the original article, but regardless: the extent of the issue is far, far, far beyond the metadata you're discussing. No one has 300MB of commit messages.

WOW. I actually did buy a month of GLM because GLM-5.3-Flash is so great and ZCode is honestly one of the best harnesses out there from an HCI perspective, and I won't lie, this is pretty gutting. I guess this settles my inner turmoil

People might think I'm a dick, I don't care, my tools, my knowledge, my job security. If you're feeling ponderous, I'd ask you to consider the outlandish hypothetical that this doesn't win you meaningful[1

You should check the provenance and licenses of your dependencies -- I bet there's a few irrational gifts in there from the nerds in the "open source" community ;) Or, in SVese: are you a taker or a maker?

This is quite interesting and a very important side effect of AI if we survive long enough for it to matter, but am I reading the layperson prose right that the "Resy Wasn't having it"/"Resy suspends"/&quo

Replying to everyone to hack HackerNews' Gish Gallop feature ( nulla poena sine lege! ): Alignment is meaningless; as you've noticed, humans aren't all that "morally aligned". Moral relativism is an attractiv

Replying to a massive, blatant cyberattack with "lol America would prolly do the same" is not helpful nor rational. I am under no illusions about the exceptionalism of my state, especially considering the ongoing fascist self-coup

Well 1. GitHub is the broken & bad one, and 2. isn't that kind of on them? If they're getting a ton of requests that read data awkwardly, the fix seems like the quintessential data engineering task.

Are you joking...? Sorry if so! Just in case: It's illegal in both the PRC and the USA. In the PRC, they[1] leaked tons of national secrets on the PRC's latest AI campaigns, the inner workings of their "opinion monitoring&quo

It's hard to know, since no one advertises the actual token limits (partially cause they're prolly complex / adaptive). So it seems much more likely that they just offer different pricing tiers than you're used to. Like,

ctrl+f for "distill" is pretty enlightening as to the bent of this publication, for better or worse. They do cover the idea to some extent, but mostly to dismiss threats from DC. If the creator wanders through here: this is a fant

You should try it out! There should be local stores around you, and many libraries set up an oculus corner. Although IDK... "3D games" is a shockingly low bar. Can you watch movies...?

Please leave HN. Reddit misses you.

The exact same thing can be said of climate science though, and that one turned out to be very, very real.
